Last 5 Encounters

DC batting stats vs Chennai Super Kings
Delhi batting lineup has always been evolving during the course of IPL years. It is only in the recent years under Ricky Ponting that the team has a long term vision of grooming young talents to help them become superstars of the game. And as a result of that, the numbers against Chennai Super Kings are comparatively low as most of the batsmen have been playing for the Delhi franchise only for last 2-3 years. Shikhar Dhawan is at the top with 302 runs from 7 innings while captain Shreyas Iyer is behind with 233 runs from 9 innings. Rishabh Pant has been decent with 123 runs from 7 innings and young Prithvi Shaw completes the list with 123 runs from 7 innings. Shikhar Dhawan has the average of 60.40 while Rishabh Pant strikes at 162.04 against Chennai Super Kings.

Shikhar Dhawan has an impressive record at Kotla while Shreyas Iyer dominates at away venues. Delhi Capitals will be banking on the likes of Marcus Stoinis in the absence of Shreyas Iyer in the upcoming season to support the young blood in the big-ticket encounters.

DC bowling stats vs Chennai Super Kings
Same as their batting lineup, inexperience is glaring easily through Delhi Capitals bowling lineup. Only Amit Mishra has the respectable record against Chennai Super Kings with 9 scalps from 10 innings. South African duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje follow him at second and third positions respectively. Axar Patel has also taken 3 wickets from 5 innings. Potential is always there in the bowling lineup but sometimes game time against these experienced oppositions do play a crucial role.

There is nothing much to analyze from the data but one can clearly see that slowness of the pitches at both venues complements the spin bowlers immensely.  Indian domestic spinners along with international superstars of the likes of Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Sandeep Lamichhane need to come to the party this year if Delhi Capitals have any chances of correcting their record against Chennai Super Kings.

Overall:

CSK bowling stats vs Delhi Capitals
Chennai Super Kings have built their team around the conditions at their home venue Chepauk. Now if we look at the conditions at Feroz Shah Kotla, it is not so different compared to Chepauk. Batsmen find it very difficult to time the ball on sluggish pitch and spin bowlers have the world of their own. Naturally, Chennai Super Kings would become a force to be reckoned with here and it can be seen clearly from the wicket takers chart against Delhi Capitals. Dwayne Bravo is at the top of the tree with 14 wickets from 13 innings thanks to his variations. Ravindra Jadeja has taken 12 wickets from 13 innings with his left-arm spin. Deepak Chahar has also impressed with 7 scalps from 6 innings while Imran Tahir rounds-off the table with 6 wickets from just 3 innings.

Imran Tahir is leading the charge at Chepauk with 4 wickets from just the single inning against Delhi Capitals. Ravindra Jadeja has been dominant in all conditions but especially so when they play at away and neutral venues. So the pattern is pretty simple: give the ball a plenty of air and revolutions in order to succeed at Chepauk and Kotla.
